Customer Reviews Kork-Ease Nara

So l already own these exact shoes in brown and decided to buy them in black. I LOVE how they look but l forgot about breaking leather shoes in. They feel alittle tight at first but l am sure with some wear they will stretch out soon!

I bought these sandals to wear with casual summer dresses. They look nice out of the box and felt very comfortable when I tried them on. However, the look was not great for me as I have size 11 feet and I felt that they looked every bit a size 11 in these sandals (which I generally try to avoid!). I would also like to let other customers know that the sandals feel wide to me. My feet were slipping front to back and I feel the front strap should have a snugger fit (or and adjustable fit). I constantly had the feeling that my feet were coming out of the front of the sandal. A customer looking for a more relaxed fit may really like wearing these. Thanks!

Nice shoes, but they didn’t work for me. I have a bunion and it stuck out right between the two straps. Made it look worse than it is.

It's true. Half sizes would make all the difference in the sizing of this shoe. 10 is too big and 9 is too small. The leather is lovely and the footbed cushiony, but they aren't very youthful looking. I wanted to like them!

Ordered the 9 and 10 for fit -- the 9 was too short and the 10 was too loose and a bit long. Wish these came in half sizes. Also, the leather on the 10 was of poor quality compared to the leather on the 9. So the product does not appear to be consistent.

These are so cute but they are shorter than the other Work Ease shoes I have in the same size. Have to send them back.

Bummer. Feel quite comfortable and very well made. But the 9 is too short and the 10 flops around on my foot. Wish they made half sizes.

Really cute shoe but no arch support. Comfortable enough for everyday, casual wear but wouldnt wear if I was going to be on my feet all day or walking a lot

I wear these sandals most of the summer. They go with everything. The sizing is a little off, I think - they only come in full sizes. I usually wear 7.5 or 8. The 8 was way too big so I settled for the 7, which is a little small, but I still wear it. A 7.5 would have been perfect. They don't have much support but do have a little padding. Really like them.

Beautiful sandals, but tough to break in. The leather food bed is soft and enough support for my lifestyle. The bands are a little rigid and I got blisters the first couple of times that I wore them. Hoping they soften up a little. I feel like they run just a little big, mostly wide. I'm an 8.5 who leans towards 9 but ended up returned the 9 for the 8 since they don't offer half sizes. 8 was great for me though, and the adjustable straps help with fit.

I really, really wanted to love these! The leather and footbed are so soft, but a little arch support would have made me so happy. Other than that, it really is a cute sandal.

I am a true 7.5M but took an 8 in this shoe as no half-sizes are offered. It looks great in the photo. However, the straps are too wide for my taste, and also they did not fit at all snugly on my foot, especially the one across the toes, which does not have an adjustable buckle. Also the footbed is a funny orange color. So they're going back.

Adorable - so stylish. I constantly get compliments on these gems. I settled on the gold...but the brown and black are adorable, too. They look great with casual things (i.e., jeans or leggings) and also with dressier things (i.e., dresses, skirts). Great sandal. Warning: they have zero arch support! They are super comfortable for all day wearing right out of the box...but not great for long walks or being on your feet all day.

I like these sandals. They look good on my feet and they have a nice cushion. I've been looking a long time for comfortable, basic every day sandals that don't have the thing between the toes, and these fit the bill, That being said, I sincerely wish they came in half sizes. I normally wear a 7 1/2 or 8 shoe. The 8 in this sandal was loose on my foot, even when on the tightest setting. The 7 is a little snug and short, but at least I can wear it. I'm keeping, and hoping the leather will stretch a little as I wear them.

A very pretty and functional sandal, but the straps didn't fit securely over the top of my feet. There was too much gap.

I was looking for a shoe that was comfortable for city walking but also a little stylish. I wore the sandals with capris and dresses and received many compliments. I think they look like a skinnier version of Birkenstocks. Unfortunately, I had to stop wearing them because they were making the back of my ankles extremely sore. The strap in the back just hits me in the wrong place. I stopped wearing the shoes and the next day the pain went away. Oh well.

Too clunky for me. The leather straps are really wide and cover almost your entire foot. Comfy though. I usually wear a 7.5 and got a 7, which fit well.

These shoes felt comfortable right out of the box, but unfortunately I plan to return since the footbed on the Natural color is a strange orange-ish color. Looks terrible. Bizarre design choice. Maybe one of the darker colors would work better.

The shoes are very comfortable right out of the box. However, a deal breaker for me is that the footbed is a strange orange-ish color. Looks terrible with the light Natural uppers and against your toes. A second problem is that the edges of the straps are not finished, so in the light color it looks a little dirty already. Will probably get worse with wearing. So unfortunately I have to return these -- too bad, as it seems they would be nice walking shoes otherwise. Maybe I will try them in a darker color as these design issues really just affect the light ones.

The style was cute which is why i ordered them but the footbed has no shape like our feet so did not feel secure or comfortable. Leather was soft on the straps but the color of the footbed was a weird mango / orange color that looked weird with the pretty natural grain leather color. I wear a size 11 and depending on the style can usually wear a Medium width though my foot tends to be a bit narrow. These were not so much really wide but straps were not adjustable enough to make them look good on or feel secure or comfortable. Mainly just a flat cheap feeling footbed compared to the leather used for the straps. Ended up keeping a different sandal - the Bogs "Amma Gladiator" that was $100 and felt and looked higher quality made than these. I could not have worn these all day at work with the footbed.

I do not own a pair of Kork-Ease so I was curious to try these along with gold sandals by my usual go to brands Born and Naot. The style is very cute and I disagree with some reviewers about the quality of the upper, the pair that I tried seemed fine. That said, I am not sure how these fit in the comfort shoe category. They felt very flat. There is no arch support and they are narrow. So I am returning them.

Cute style - I especially liked the chunky buckle. Fit was true to size; however, the distance between the straps turned out to be just enough to pinch my skin with every step. Also, I was disappointed in the lack of cushioning or arch support - where is the cork midsole for which Kork-ease became famous? Sorry to say, I returned them.

These are really nice shoes but I gave them 3 stars because they don't make half sizes. I ordered down a half size which is what is recommended, but they were a little too short. I'm pretty sure ordering up a size, the shoe will be too large. At this point in my life, I refuse to buy things that don't fit correctly. I wish I could keep them because they are very cute.

Cuter in the pic, not so on my feet. The straps come up to high on my ankle. Make my legs look shorter and fat.
